I've attached an archive of all of the logs that I reference in this
post.  It includes the dmesg and Xorg log output for the 11.04 install.
See dmesg-11.04 and Xorg-11.04.0.log.

I have not successfully reproduced the working 10.10 system.  I booted
from the 10.10 live CD and got the expected spash screen with the
progress dots and ultimately the Install-or-try-ubuntu screen.  This
seemed promising.  But when I clicked Try Ubuntu, I got dumped to the
console on tty1.  The logs look similar to the 11.04 install.  See
dmesg-10.10 and Xorg-10.10.0.log.  For the record, I get this exact same
behavior, including the splash screens, when I boot the 11.04 live CD.

Next I booted the 10.04.3 live CD.  I got all the way to the Try Ubuntu
desktop.  So perhaps we should use this as the working baseline.  See
dmesg-10.04.3 and Xorg-10.04.3.0.log.

Finally, I tried 11.10 as you advised.  Specifically, I tried oneiric-
desktop-amd64.iso from 26-Sep-2011.  I got an error: "The installer
encountered an unrecoverable error.  A desktop session will now be run
so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again."  When
I click OK, I get dumped to the tty7 console with the output from the
various boot scripts.  Notably, "Starting restore sound card(s') mixer
state(s)" reports FAIL, and (perhaps more relevant) "Starting load
fallback graphics devices" also reports FAIL.  See the dmesg and
Xorg.log output in the attached archive.

I tried apport-collect as you advised, and it dumped me into Lynx.
After I logged in to launchpad, however, nothing happened.  Quitting
Lynx left me with a screen indicating that apport-collect was waiting to
hear back from launch pad.
